TP-Link WiFi Extender with Ethernet Port. Dual Band 5GHz/2.4GHz. Up to 44% More Bandwidth Than Single Band. Covers Up to 1200 Sq.ft and 30 Devices. Signal Booster Amplifier Supports OneMesh(RE220)

So I have had the tp-link plugged in since I got it. I have noticed absolutely NO difference with coverage, Signal Strength or streaming capabilities Don’t waste your $$$. #JUNK

The product work well and you can even put it away from your rotor you just have to connect it to your Wi-Fi plug it in go on the Internet and it will be great. It’s heat level is normal. Nothing that bad. There is no sound from it, the power saving is fine. It has good power saving. And you don’t even have to worry about its coverage, It’s great. I don’t know why people are saying that it’s bad the Wi-Fi extender

I will update this post if needed, but I am a few days into using this WiFi extender and I am VERY impressed!!

I moved my home office to the back of my house and after the move, I had issues with my WiFi slowing down and cutting out during zoom calls. I was skeptical to purchase this extender because we had a TPlink extender in the past and it made little to no difference, but we gave TPlink another try because all the reputable tech blogs recommended them. We spent a little more than I had hoped, but now I feel like I underpaid!

This product had worked extremely well so far! I had one zoom meeting since installing it and my coworkers said everything was great on their end. No slowing down or cutting out! I’m a believer now!

As pic show, up and download speeds greatly improved with the AC2600. Last extender was pretty worthless so so decided to try this. Features i like include,

□ Easy setup (initially plugged in next to my router. Thanks to the Teather app set up was a breeze. Unplugged, took upstairs plugged back in and immediately saw improved network connectivity speed on my TV and other devices (pic).
□ The blue LEDs are very bright, particularly at night! Love how they can be turned off via "night mode" or completely off (pic).

Nice to finally not have constant buffering on upstairs TV. A little pricy but it works!

This will connect to the AT&T rental gateway (proprietary combo modem/router).

Can be connected in a few seconds using WPS, connected to a PC via LAN cable, or using phone app. After connecting, finalize the configuration details and update the firmware.

This can be setup either to work as its own sub-network with a different network name or as a signal extension of the main network name.

Very useful to convert something like an old desktop PC without wireless to wireless. Also good to get a little bit extra signal range, about 20'.

Speed and bandwidth performance is adequate to run a laptop PC and wireless TV (e.g. FireStick) simultaneously. Works much better than low price entry level units. This unit is just enough for my residential needs where less expensive units were not.

Solves the issue of devices out of gateway range to a certain extent but has its fair share of limitations. Overall good all things considered.

One minor but remarkable drawback is it does mostly cover both outlets of a dual receptacle.

These WIFI extenders were recommended to my by my daughter's boyfriend. He's an IT specialist, so I figured he knows what he is talking about.

After setting them up (I bought 2), the signal strength to my Ring doorbell improved as well as in my living room.

They require passwords, so they are secure. They worked the first time I set them up to work with my router, so I consider them to be a quality product.

This is a nice extender. It works great for our setup. We're in a secondary home on the property and share utilities as well as WiFi we just had to make it reach our building. This did the trick. It's pretty easy to use. The tether app kinda stinks like my mother in laws cooking, but the online interface is about as perfect as a cloudless sunset! All in all I liked it so much I bought another! We have a truck load of smart devices connected to the 2 extenders. I used the second to extend the original extender WiFi output. We have 4 game consoles, 2 TVs, 3 cell phones, 2 tablets, laptop, 2 printers, light bar, 4 Alexas, 2 humidifiers, 4 smart plugs, several smart LED strips, a lamp, smart surge protector, fire stick, Roku, sound bar, 2 doorbells with cameras, 2 Smart door locks, a security camera, thermo/hygro sensor, and smart light bulbs out the wazoo connected to these 2 extenders and it all works great. We're both disabled and boy Alexa works hard at my house!

I was having Spotify WiFi with my tv in the living. Room since my modem is located in my office. This product really helped the WiFi around the house be less spotty.

I followed the instructions for set-up and the Wi-Fi extender works very well in my home. Before purchase, I was not able to use devices that required Wi-Fi on my porch off of the kitchen. There was constant buffering. After setting up the device, I can use my Wi-Fi enabled devices on my porch and there is no buffering. Loved the easy set-up.

This wifi extender works pretty well. just put it in a good spot and you'll get extended range of your router. If I stand next to my router and connect to the main wifi network on my plan, I get 600-800mb/s. As I place the extender upstairs and use the extended network, I get about 80-100 which isn't so bad but could be better. Maybe I have too many solid walls in the way or there is too much distance between my extender and the router.

It is perfectly working with all devices, but I try to connect with Noorio security camera, it connect but after couple minutes the connection drop, so I have to connect back the original wifi router. But it is best for cellular, tablet, laptop or other devices but not with outdoor camera.

I was having connectivity issues with my security cameras on one side of my RV. I was well within the distance but apparently the walls of my RV were creating a connection problem. My wifi connection status bars were low and causing glitches in video playback or recording anything at all. I searched for solutions specifically to my Blink system and this particular wifi extender was highly recommended and suggested. It's data speed is well above the minimum speed suggested too which is a HUGE bonus in regards to my TV app programs as well. My connectivity issues have all but disappeared and my data speed has improved many times over. My camera wifi connection has stayed at 100% even at the farthest corners of my residence. If you have a Blink camera system, I would highly recommend this extender over any cheap one from Walmart. It was simple to install and program through the phone app they suggested to install on your phone.

Extremely simple to set-up and use. There is only 4 steps for set up. Plug it in by the router and wait for the extender to find it, Move the product half way between the router and what you need boosted, wait for it to fire up and you are done! Go to whatever device you're using, find the new wifi marked EXT, connect and enjoy. Total time from setting it up to starting to use it was about 10 minutes. Most of that time was the device doing it's own set up. Our TV signal went from 57 to 98. We'll worth buying.

The TP-LINK-RE650-RNGE EXTENDER-is an amazing product
Made by Tp-Lnk.it save my home.my wifi had very weak wifi.now I have very fast internet
I am very happy.Thanks for the suggestion from Tp-Link-I did purchase it.
And I love it

This wi-fi extender is definitely worth the money. It is a bit pricy but you're getting what you paid for. I had to get one because my computer is in the basement away from the router and I was impressed with how easy it was to setup.

You will need the app to set up but it's mostly plug and play after that. The speed of the wi-fi is also amazing too! Range is also amazing if you have trouble connecting in deadlines.

I tried at least two different those small brand products (price range $60-$70). None of them worked. I returned them all.

I decided to trust the old brand names like TP link and D-Link. After checking, I bought this one.

The WPS installation was not too successful so I used web site installation. After 15 mins setup, it works perfectly. See picture for the speed I am getting. I was only getting 8 down and 3 up before I installed this. 👍👍👍👍👍

- Easy to install. The only catch is at first step when it says putting this thing next to the router, it means literally NEXT to the router. Like within 2 feet.
- has strong signal, completely eliminated dead spots on 2nd floor. My modem has 1000mbps, my 2nd floor 5g extended wifi gets 550mbps next to the extender and 100+mbps in the corner room, pretty good if ask me.
- fair price
- looks unintrusive. Not an eye sore like some other brands.

I have an upstairs office that had slow internet connections. I had an older cheap TP Link that was worthless. I gave this one a shot and it increases my speeds dramatically. Look at the before and after speeds connected to the main Router then connected to this extender!

I will say the install wasn’t as easy at it should have been for some reason. I kept using their “tether”app to add it and kept getting a fail time and again, failed to connect. I finally used the reset button and the first time same results. I tried it again and that time it worked. Was frustrating but ended well.

We recently switched to Verizon 5G 1000Mbps internet and the router is upstairs in my office. We were getting weak signals in our kitchen on our phones so I decided to get this extender. It’s been set up for over 24hrs so I decided to test the speeds and compare while in the kitchen. To my surprise I was getting a stronger signal connected to the original WiFi compared to the new “WiFi-EXT” option while at the dining table. Both were stronger than the ~30Mbps I’d been seeing before though. I decided to test it on the living room couch and then even tested after unplugging the extender wondering if maybe it was actually boosting the original WiFi range and the WiFi-EXT was just a secondary optional connection for less important devices. However the WiFi stayed strong at over 300Mbps without the extender plugged in. I was preparing the review and return it when I had trouble loading my orders page. I realized the edge of my connection must be near the kitchen sink which is under the window furthest from the window the router is at. I tested to be sure and it showed about 30Mbps. I plugged this extender back in near the sink rather than near the dining table and tested both again. It definitely gives a better signal while in the main kitchen area BUT I’m really not sure whether to keep it. $100 is pretty steep just to boost the one little section of the house. Especially since you have to manually choose which WiFi to join so I don’t see it being worthwhile having to swap to WiFi-EXT every time we enter the kitchen. We’ll likely return it but it definitely seems to do what it was designed for and would be useful if properly placed in a building suffering from larger dead space. However I’d probably look for an extender that extends the existing connections and doesn’t add a separate WiFi that you have to connect to unless you’ll exclusively use it for stationary devices. For reference our house is 2000SqFt. Images of speed tests attached. Each test involving the extender is marked EXT.

Just FYI... this is the first review I have ever given on Amazon (or any other website). Very impressed by this product.

Setup was SUPER EASY. I game on PC and internet speed is super important. I have the gig speed plan through Xfinity. My gf have 2 kids and we both work from home, so we have a lot of devices connected all the time. My office is on the second floor, the router is downstairs. I was only getting 150 - 250 mbps download. After purchasing this extender, I consistently get between 550 and 720 mbps. I was also able to hardwire through the ethernet port on the extender which is great.

Honestly, I have only had the TP-Link AC2600 WiFi Extender(RE650) for about 2 weeks. But it performs
awesome - solid signals on both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. Extremely easy to setup, just use the WPS or Log Directly into it. I did both methods just to see how it would go, as I generally never use the WPS (EASY METHOD) of adding devices to my router, I had to go ahead and try it. Went so easy, so easy.

But being a bit of a computer, networking nut, I still like doing things the direct hands on way, so directly logged in, very easy to navigate, changed that default security password jazz - DO THIS or anyone who sees these devices or any hooked to your system, will straight off try to log in to them and either hack you or just lock you out.

Not to scare anyone, just keep that in mind with ANY electronic devices hooked to your network. Save yourself the heartache.

That said, it's so easy to do or have a family member help you, but it is really very easy. read and follow the easy directions and you should not have any problem.

My LinkSys Router used to (2yrs ago) delivered a 5 BAR signal to everywhere on my property (about 1/2 acre) but my house is only about 1850 sq-ft. Router sits in the farthest room from screened back porch. As I said, 2 yrs ago the signal was 5 BARS everywhere maybe occasionally at the farthest corner of the property I might dip to 3 but then zoom back up to 5 within seconds.

That was 2 yrs ago, more homes have been built, more cell towers etc. So for the last 12 - 15 months, that great signal dropped to 5 BARS occasionally with 2 mostly or completely dropping signal altogether.

That's some Big League Taboo nowadays, so that leads me to my purchase of the TP-Link AC2600 WiFi Extender(RE650) - Plugged it in at the opposite end of the house - In the Laundry Room. No problems. Solid Signal on both bands - never drops at all, not even a flicker. Fast transfer speeds, I upload / download photos and graphics to and from my place of work. No hick-ups, no more dropouts, just a solid enjoyable signal. Watch HD and some 4k videos over it without a bit of trouble.

This device is top shelf in my opinion. You can set timers for when it shuts off and wakes up (when nobody's home) and can even set the led lights to always on, always off, or at a sleep/wake time.

Yeah you can get cheaper, but that's generally a gamble with finding a diamond, usually you get what you pay for. Who needs that headache to save 25 or 50 bucks. Not saying saving some money is a bad thing, I like money too, work hard for it, so throwing it away is not something I do either, but if your internet and network traffic is important to you - why skimp. There may be better too, really just depends on how you use it.

If you're a real Rockefeller Type, go for whatever fits your need. I just needed my strong signal and network/internet transmission speeds back to STELLAR.

And STELLAR is what this 58 yr old kid got with this TP-Link WIFI Extender. Oh, and it comes with an Ethernet port built into it for direct configuring or getting even more speed out of it. I only used it for the direct login to the device and to upload a new update. That was easy peasy too.

Oh, and it has 4 swing up antennas on it. Really nice device, just place it and forget it.

Sorry for such a long winded review, but it is an honest one. Like I said, I have only had it for maybe 2-3 weeks, more 2 weeks. Will definitely update if anything happens to change it. FOR NOW IT'S AWESOME AND 5 STARS.

Hope this was helpful people.

Thanks TP-LINK. Very well done.

Looks great and was an easy setup. However, I bought this to assist with gaming as I am renting the 1st floor of a home and split the wifi with the landlord. But after a trial run yesterday I feel as if it made the gaming experience worse. I'll be updating this after I buy a ethernet cable and connect it to the extender to the console.

Well I am using the product to obviously extend my Wifi coverage and let me tell you it’s doing a great job at meeting all of my expectations the Wifi Signal is Great 👍🏻 honestly this product I recommend it for People that have a 2 Story house And but Great for Standard houses and Apartments also this is great for smart home Gadgets to get better Quality Wifi Signal

I was getting 144 before in the upstairs bedrooms. I didn't expect it to get close to the speed of my router which is downstairs. It delivered. Very happy with this purchase.

I was previously using a Asus repeater that was only giving me half the internet speed of my modem/router. The Asus repeater also kept failing constantly. I replaced it with this tplink receiver and it is capable of providing the exact internet speed of my modem/router. Connections are stable. I have multiple devices connected to it and they all function with no issues. This has really made my day. I highly recommend this device. Be sure to update the firmware on it and reboot the device a couple of times afterwards.

CONS: i would have liked to been able to setup a different password for the wifi. It uses your main modem/routers password. So if anyone knows your main wifi password. They will be able to connect to it. You can block devices from the configuration app/url.

I would have also liked for the firmware to auto update via the app and the configuration web page. You have to download it manually and apply it via the repeaters config site.

There were some quirks at first, but after a few reboots. Everything is stable now.

The repeater is as expensive as some good standalone routers, but well worth the price to fill in those dead spots.

PROS: very strong signal
Fast network speeds
Matches your main modem/router internet speeds
Easy to setup
I have not had to call tech support. I dont really ever reach out to any, but if I did. There was no need to with this device anyways.

I have been trying to get wifi in my garage and currently have Google Nest WiFi in the house. Adding an additional Google access point to the garage gave me a weak signal and was causing the entire network to drop!! I purchased this extender and problem solved!! I'm getting on average 50mbps which is more than enough to stream 4k vid. ABSOLUTELY THRILLED ABOUT THIS PRODUCT!!

So I needed a solution for weak and spotty wifi connections throughout my house. We have a heavy wifi load (7 Echo Dots, one Echo Show, 3 Kindle Fires, 3 laptops, 5 phones and 4 security cameras all fighting for wifi, often at the same time). I did my research and narrowed it down to either this model or the slightly less expensive version. I chose this model based upon its' greater ability to boost numerous devices at once. Upon opening the box the first thing I noticed was the quality packaging and shipping care (kinda like how Apple boxes their iPads). Setup and linking was amazingly easy; it took maybe five minutes. You just plug it in, pull up your network, give the TLink a password and access, and it sets up immediately. We have a two story house so I plugged it in on the landing between floors about twenty feet from the router. I ran a wifi analyzer at the weakest spot in the house where the signal is normally very tentative and often drops out and found not only the the signal was solid but showed a boost in strength of about 25 percent. Throughout the rest of the house the results were even more impressive. I ran bandwidth-intensive YouTube videos on all the devices at once and there were no problems. All in all a simple and easy solution that exceeded my expectations.

Standard for all my reviews: When reviewing products, I always remain objective and honest about the product or service. I always review with information that I feel others would like to know about the product as I always assume what I'm writing will influence for or against the purchase. I always try to go above and beyond surface characteristics and input into quality, value and application. Most importantly, I will always end the review with an answer as to whether I'd purchase the product again which I believe is the most critical question pertaining to the item. To manufacturers: Want me to review your items, just let me know!

This is one of those review I LOVE to give. I didn't leave a review right away as I wanted to see it work for a few months before giving my feedback. Many extenders seem to work well for a few weeks and then start going south for whatever reason.

I did a fair amount of review and due-diligence before choosing this TP-Link extender as I looked into bridging, perhaps hard wiring a second router, etc. In the end, I decided I'd try the TP-Link AC-2600 and boy am I glad I did.

My last extender just wasn't getting the job done in our 2850 sq. ft. house. My router is on the far northern side of the house in our bonus room and the signal to the first floor was very poor. In fact, my old extender had to be put so close to the router I didn't get much extension. If I moved it further away, it lost signal or had only a weak signal. This TP-Link was placed at the bottom of the stairs in they foyer and I now get full signal in all rooms including the cameras on the outside of the house in three locations. Couldn't be happier with this unit.

Setup was a breeze, no secondary network to have to worry about as it simply extends the primary. Light indicators are easy to see from a distance and functionality has been without issue or headache. If you are struggling to extend your Wifi into the nether regions of your house, give this TP-Link AC2600 a shot. It took a frustrating situation and rendered it a non-issue.

Big fan of this unit!

Let me just say this is the first time I am writing an Amazon review, and for good reason. This WiFi extender is one of the most phenomenal products I have used in a long time.

Attached are the speeds at which my WiFi was before I installed the extender. My WiFi originally was around 23 mbps in my room due to thick walls, but after I followed the instructions, installed the app, and made sure the extender was in proper condition, my WiFi went up to the 100 mbps range, with minimal ping in the 20s to even low teens. I enjoy this product and hope that it will be worthwhile. I will add updates if any issues arise from this product, thank you.

I don’t really notice much of a difference. At night our WiFi is still spotty. I wish there was an easy guaranteed way to boost WiFi in our house. But for the price, it was worth a shot.

This is a quality item that is super-easy to install if your router has a WPS button. There are two other alternative methods if your router does not have a WPS button, but that is the easiest way. It literally took me less than 2 minutes to set it up and that included unboxing.

Simply remove the unit, plug it into a wall outlet somewhere near your router, and push the large button on the Range Extender. In a few seconds, the flashing light turns solid blue. Now, push the WPS button on your router. The range extender begins flashing and when the little blue flashing lights on the range extender turn solid blue, you have a solid wifi extension. Unplug the extender now and it remembers the settings.

Take the unit to a room in your home where wifi is poor and plug it in. The unit will begin flashing and when the little blue lights turn solid blue again, voila, instantly extended wifi. The signal is great and the unit works flawlessly.

If anything changes regarding reliability or failure, I will post a follow-up review.

Solved our "dead zone issue". Before installing, 35 feet from our router our bandwidth went from 400 Mbs to near zero. Here's how install went: After plugging device in, if you have dual band (2.4 GHz and 5G) the instructions tell you to wait for both bands to be illuminated on the device. But only the 2.4 GHz lit up. (see picture). The troubleshoot "options" include using the "Tether" app. I installed the Tether app successfully but still, only the 2.4 GHz band lit up but as you can see in the picture, my available wifi lists now include 5GEXT (EXT = TP-link wifi extender). So I tested it and the new wifi access point worked. So my only complaint is the bandwidth indicator lights are not reliable - the 5G light on the TP-link device is still dark but 5G is alive and well on my network!

Give it this rating for easy install because if you’re not text savvy you would not know about the apps and how to set them up a certain way and it’s the way I set it up made it have a high setting that makes it download settings that are in the picture

I bought this for Bahrain and yes it IS dual voltage, meaning you only need an adapter and NOT a converter. You can see it is Dual Voltage from my picture. It says 110 to 240 v. Works great, made my room go from zero signal to full wifi signal.

This fixed my dead zone issue! I had tried a 750 extender, but that was even slower than nothing. Put this thing by the back bedrooms and totally took care of my signal problems. I'm on a Linksys EA8500 Max-Stream AC2600 MU-MIMO Gigabit Router in a 1300 SF house. The router is all the way at one end in the living room. Dead zone was just in the opposite corner of the house in the back bedroom. This 2600 extender has the power to keep up.

I use this product to extend my Wifi signal out to my backyard, patio and garage. It works great! I am receiving my normal internet speeds (150down, 25up). Speeds will depend on your Wifi plan, not device itself.

It’s an Amazing extender really I love it, give you accurate results, perfect location for extender and router via using Tether application from Tp-Link.
However, it’s work on 110-240 volt. I was afraid about that because in Bahrain we’re using UK electricity systems. So you will need only an adapter because RE650 coming with US plug.

My router is on the main floor, but office is on second floor, and my phone kept getting disconnected from the network and uses up my mobile data. Now I'm fully connected throughout the house, no more disconnections. Setup was easy as expected, I was connected within minutes.

I recently installed a Ring camera attached to the outside of my garage. Although I have a fairly decent router (Netgear Nighthawk AC1750) which was also purchased from Amazon and has good indoor coverage, the Ring camera kept dropping a WiFi signal.

I initially tried the Quick Setup using the WPS button, however, the Netgear router did not have this button. I then tried the Quick Setup option using the browser and it was quick and easy. I placed the TP-Link range extender in my garage approximately 20ft from the Ring camera. It has been two days and no dropped signal yet.

The TP-Link Range Extender keeps the router’s SSID and password so there’s no need to look for and assign a new SSID and password.

Whoa, was much larger than I expected. See photo comparing it to my older/smaller/slower/less sophisticated model. Other than being less conspicuous than I hoped, I am very happy with it. I bought this because I have several appliances with wifi, but were too far from my router to sustain a connection. Now everything is consistently staying connected. Very Happy about this!
For fun I compared connections speeds using my iPhone and MacBook; definitely much faster through this extender when at that end of the house compared to the signal degradation over distance that occurs without this.
The free App is GREAT too, I can monitor/confirm all my devices are connected and I can even change the names they display as.
There is also a feature that helps you pick an optimal location for the unit. Rather than unplugging/plugging in different outlets and waiting for it to reboot, I put it on a long extension cord and walked around the house testing different locations, just remember to pause in each spot and give it a chance to register. Managed to find an outlet w/ discrete placement and a strong connection to all necessary devices. I highly recommend. Easy to set up and use.

I've tried 4 different WiFi Range Extender and they all had problems with the range or far almost strong speed drops. Due to the prices around 30-50 USD no surprise, I guess. Now, after investing a big amount into the topic I am happy that I really receive nearly 100 mbits and more in the whole apartment. This item makes a good impression in terms of physical quality and user experience. I can really recommend it… and in case I will have some issues within the next months, I gonna update this review. I hope this helps everyone who is looking for a solid product.

I had been looking at multiple extender packages with 3-6 units in each, then I came across this one that covers up to 14,000 sq/ft. Easy to install using the phone app (I suggest using phone app not pc) it increased my range tremendously, especially for my Ribg device, security cameras, and Nest. It also seemed to to take pressure off of my modem giving it greater strength. Dual band and multiple platform technologies, I highly suggest this one if you are looking for an extender.

3K square foot house with the router in the garage and my desktop upstairs. It extends the signal farther than my router by quite a bit and the ethernet port is great for added reliability. All this comes with a big caveat though, you *MUST* upgrade the firmware from their website. The built-in update tool *does not* find the latest firmware and without the latest firmware this device barely functions. Before the update I was dropping packets by at least 5% and my ping times fluctuated all over the place.

This thing is LARGE, but I don't think anyone looking for 4x4 MIMO, Beamforming, and QAM with these speeds will mind.

Impressive....I was skeptical at first about WI-FI extenders but seeing my router is located upstairs and my shop/business is downstairs Ive been having trouble with lag and sending and receiving.. First let me say the set-up was simple as can be.. Plug it in hit the WPS on my router it linked up and its all done.. I also performed a speed test pre-post so Id know what i was getting for my $$$... My download speed was 70MBPS at my main router. Downstairs in the shop at the laptop location it dropped to 39MBPS. Today i did another speed test after install of the extender and my new download speed was 68MBPS...Almost exactly what it was upstairs... (Speed test photo included) Needless to say I am impressed and couldn't be happier with the results.. Highly recommended.. Matt

Most houses need a Wi-Fi booster so my husband and I finally bought this. I'll have to update my review later because my internet is currently out. I love the 2 year warranty.

At first I was getting slower speeds than if I connected to the main router. That's because I had only selected to show 2Ghz range. I did a factory reset, and selected to show both 2Ghz and Ghz bands, and I get the same fast speed as if I connected to the main router. I was trying to connect my PS4 to the extender, and I was getting really slow speeds. That's because PS4 only picks up 2Ghz. Good thing this device has an ethernet port, which I was able to connect my PS4, and I get the speeds I want. Only problem though, it's been 10 minutes, and the final management page is still trying to finish. Though I am connected to the extender and have internet connection. During the first set-up I close the window, and I was not able to get back onto the management page. Now sure how long I have to wait. Second thing, during the first set-up, some of my devices were connected to the extender, but were not getting any internet. Device showed that it was getting internet, and some of the devices were getting internet; however, mac and PS4 were not, and sometimes my iphone did not get any connection either

We have Xfinity Cable & equipment and In the basement "man cave" we were only able to get 20mbps MAX due to the weak signal from the xfinity's modem most of the time it was much slower.
After lots of research we ended up pulling the trigger on this device and I'm very happy we did. The Install was simple and easy using WPS with no issues. I tried both the wireless side (180mbps on average) with the Ethernet cable plugged into the PC from the TP-Link we get a consistent & legitimate 200+mbps!

TP-Link AC2600: Works great, almost no lag and easily tripled my WiFi coverage area. The speed is great, we've had a desktop and my iPad streaming HD Netflix with no lag. Setup is easy if your router is a TP-Link, simply press the WPS button and the main round button on the front of the extender, wait a minute and you're done. Automatic connection after that point as it basically mimics your existing router so no new passwords or logging in is required. The app is very useful, especially when limiting certain devices from accessing the extender, but it can be buggy (iOS). The AC2600 is pricey but overall worth the investment if you're having connectivity problems. I've had the lower-end models and they can't even compare with the performance and ease of use; it would have been faster and cheaper to just get this and have been done.

Notes: The LEDs are bright at night but can be turned on/off with a convenient button on the side of the unit. The unit is larger than I had thought, it will dominate any outlet it is attached to. I have mine on a short extension cord. Pic attached.

I already had a wireless extender (a Linksys), however due to how our house is arranged, even with the extender installed the living room is very weak (the router is in the back bedroom the extender is in the master bedroom, the signal from the extender has to go through several walls so by the time it gets to the living room it's kinda weak). So I thought I'd give this TP-Link AC2600 a shot.

Installation was fast and easy, just plugged it in near the router, scanned for the new extender, logged into it's IP address, and with just a few mouse clicks, and it was working. Easy. Well then I started to think... can I extend the already installed Linksys range extender? So I reset the TP-Link, went into the master bedroom, plugged it in next to the Linksys extender, and sure enough it saw that signal just fine. Entered the password and everything seemed to be working. Removed it from the master bedroom, moved it closer to the living room (an outlet in the dining room), and BAM! I had a solid signal in the living room.

Not only is the signal solid, its not even slowed down enough to matter (see attached photo).

The Android app works well which was a bit shocking to me as most of these apps tend not to work.
While connected to the TP-Link in the living room, I have not experienced any drops or disconnects at all, so it's really stable.

The ONLY downside I have for it, is that no matter how you plug it in it will block the other outlet. So kiss both AC outlets goodbye when you plug this in.

I worried it was going to be to complicated for me because of not very tech savvy but it turned out to be simple to connect. I plugged in the device and touched the big button right on the front, it took about 10 secs to go from flashing to a solid blue. I touched the WPS on our wifi router and within 45 secs it had connected. I went into my wifi setting and selected the TP-Link wifi option and that was it...
You can chose to use whatever password you want but I kept mine the same as my other wifi password for simplicity. It does require a 3 prong (grounded) outlet.
My son has school online and his interactive classes sometimes lag so that was the purpose of us getting this and since we have started using it he hasn't had any lag issues.. so for us it's a win!

I have to use a Wi-Fi extender in my house, because my husband, in his infinite wisdom, set up all external connections in the garage. That means our connection for Wi-Fi has to go through concrete walls, electronics, the entire kitchen, dining room, etc to get to the living room and the three bedrooms which are on either side of the house. That means we have spots that just don't work as well as other spots. I have been through a number of extenders (including TP-Link) and some work better than the others. The software is usually where I have an issue previously. Sometimes it was easy to set up, other times, not so much. This was easy. And it gives me more range. I can go outside with my phone and walk around the yard without losing my Wi-Fi signal and going into my minutes. The most difficult part was trying to open the box!

We have a 2,700 square foot, two-story house and the router is upstairs. The WiFi signal is very weak at the other end of the house, so we need a solution. This range extender was easy to set up, but first I had to figure out if my router was dual-band. My Netgear router doesn’t have any indication whether it’s dual-band or not, so I Googled the model number. I found out it was dual-band, so I had to use Option ONE on the Quick Setup Guide in order to get both 2.4 GHz and 5GHz to connect. Setup was very simple and the Start Up Guide is good. Once the unit was up and running, I relocated it to the distant part of the house and saw a big difference. Before installing the extender, I was seeing 3.06 Mbps down and 0.56 Mbps up. With the extender, I see 28.29 Mbps down and 34.89 Mbps up. My only complaint so far -- and it’s a small one – is that the unit is big. Plugging it into a standard wall outlet basically covers both outlets. But so far, it works and all is well.
